SPACE HARMONIC PENIOTRON IN A MAGNETRON WAVE-GUIDE RESONATOR

The paper describes both simulated and experimental results observed i n high cyclotron harmonic peniotron oscillators with magnetron wavegui de resonators and discusses the operation modes of the oscillation, We made the modes clear by considering interactions between an axis enci rcling electron beam and the space harmonic components of the respecti ve modes generated in the magnetron waveguides. To make it possible to operated at higher frequencies, we introduced a new concept for desig ning high cyclotron harmonic tubes based on a space harmonic of the 2 pi mode interaction, we then presented design parameters for a number of peniotron tubes operable up to 300 GHz with relatively low magnetic field.
